The barn has been beautifully converted and is well presented and spotlessly clean. Indeed, the photos on the website do not do it justice. The owners could not have been more friendly and helpful. We had a very relaxing two weeks.

We have just had a really lovely weeks holiday in the Threshing Barn. When we arrived the barn looked really fabulous, a great renovation, it was spotlessly clean and the living area was well furnished and spacious as were the two bedrooms(both with en suites).Clive and Pauline both welcomed us warmly and told us various local information (Pauline had also cooked us a delicious lemon drizzle cake).Adjoining the barn was a lovely private outside area for alfresco meals. The atmosphere was very friendly and rural but also private. We found the barn a beautiful place to wake up in and to return to in the evening. Clive and Pauline are very generous with the heating; it was always warm and cosy and a joy to return to for an evening meal. We also enjoyed the walk around one of the farms field on the path Clive has mowed for visitors.We loved the relaxed rural setting and felt rejuvenated after our weeks stay. Clive and Pauline are fantastic hosts and they have a beautiful holiday retreat. We will definitely visit again.

Nice friendly people although at no point did the lady make an appearance to say hello. The gentleman was charming and a thoroughly nice chap.
Had a nice Victoria homemade sponge made for us upon arrival and that was most welcome.
Lanes around the place are tight, so not ideal for a big car, it scratched my car to pieces and now having to sort that out now I'm home.
The biggest let down was the bed upstairs as it just kept breaking. The wooden slats just kept falling out and all in all it happened 6 times over the week we stayed. I didn't report it but I could clearly see that they have failed before as some of the end caps on the wooden slats were completely missing and some were broken, so its clear that other people that have stayed there have had this happen to them also.
As far as the barn goes, its great, its cosy, its quiet and to be honest its a great place to stay but its just a bit far from any local amenities and you defiantly need a car but make sure you bring a smaller car because they will get scratched on the narrow lanes with the overhanging bushes.
Value for money, yes its ok, they have been as honest as they can to be fair, the wifi is not brilliant but they do tell you that anyway and i enjoyed my stay.
Would i come back again, maybe not but thats only because i want closer amenities. There are some great places to eat and all in all we had a nice week but couldn't wait to sleep in my own bed as there is nothing worse than turning over in theirs at 2 am and hearing a bang as two or three wooden slats give way.
My wife thinks that a dressing table and a mirror would be a great addition to the upstairs bedroom.....and sort that bed out!!!

Response from:

Response on behalf of the owner; Thank you for your comments. I was sorry to have missed you whilst you stayed at the property.
We had no idea that there was a problem with the bed as no one mentioned it to us. Had we known, we would have sorted this out for you whilst you were there. We have now ordered a new bed to go into the bedroom in question. Unfortunately there isn’t room for a dressing table, but we will hang a mirror in there .
The lanes are typical of Devon, so unfortunately, there is nothing I can do about that.
We always ask that if customers have any problems during their stay that they contact us, and we will try to sort this out as soon as possible. We always like our customers to be happy, and enjoy their stay with us.
